Detection of muon and tau neutrinos from the gravitational collapse of stars with the help of low-background scintillation detectors
Ryazhskaya O. G., Ryasnyi V. G.
The possibility of detecting muon and tau neutrinos in scintillation detectors through excitation of the 1+ level (15 MeV) of l2C nuclei is discussed. For low-background detectors with a high neutron detection efficiency, 12C(v,v)12C* events can be reliably distinguished from inverse β decay.
